Well, that had gotten an interesting reaction!
Gabriel found himself smiling, but not mockingly or with teasing, but with genuine happiness that he knew was hard to find these days. He couldn't help it that he was different, though. He didn't look at everyone as an enemy until they made themselves known as such. That was just how he was and if that was foolish...then so be it. And Cassandra....she wasn't an enemy. Not even close. At the moment she seemed like an excited child and Gabriel sat down slowly, crossing his legs as he started to answer her questions.
Even he didn't understand how his mind could be so sharp as to remember every single question someone asked him and then forget all about them the next day. It was something he'd probably never figure out.
"It was...different. Green and the air was almost wet, cool. Have you ever touched lettuce? Well, everything is like that. Soft and smooth to touch, all the green things are like that. And the trees, they tower like the Old City buildings, brown and rough on your fingers, but their smell....I can't even describe it." He closed his eyes, a smile pulling at his lips. "I saw a wolf while I was there. I talked to him. He told me...he..."
Gabriel winced, feeling his head twinge with pain as the memory struggles to stay in the forefront of his mind and he finally sighed, letting it go, his amber eyes opening to look into Cassandra's wide, amazed blue ones. He suddenly felt guilty, knowing he couldn't answer her question as she'd like him to. He'd be honest with her, though.
"I...don't know. I remember...pieces of how to get there, but...without something to keep my remembering, it will fade. I'm sorry." He whispered that last part because he truthfully is very sorry that he can't help her, can't just tell her where to go.
